In 'New York Nagaram' we can feel the guy misses his love. But in this one the emotion is more strong. He misses the love, but here he has no hope of getting her back, she can never come back. He sings it as a tribute to her. Karthik has handled it well, the way he started and ends, listen closely you will feel the difference. Before watching the movie, I didn't like this song much. But once I saw the movie, not withstanding 'Nenjukkul' or 'Mundinam', this became my favorite.Missing our loved one is the most terrible thing. But how will you feel when you know that she / he can not come back... You may close your eyes, think about the one who matter the most to you.. And imagine if she is not with you... Don't ever let it happen to you. Do not wait for the right moment to tell, do the things you want.. or you may be just too late...

Mom... The only one who will love you unconditionally. And how much ever you might change, you still be the most beautiful people to her. Why only when we been away from home, we realise how good it was, when she was around. Waiting to feel, know, do what we need, want... Pamper in every moment... She can't bear her kids ( even if they are 50 !! ) away from her. And she will always want them back to her. This song from Rang De Basanti asserts this feeling. The kid is away and mom is waiting for him to back. Lataji and Rahman sang this to perfection... If this made you teary, it's ok... You love your mom, right...

I have heard that only when one miss and think about his love, he will realise what she mean to him. At times that is true, though it should not be the way it be. But when you are away from your loved one, when you miss her, you will realise how important she is for you... The warmth of her smile, her presence which assure you you been cared, her voice such a magical support... everything about her will be so soothing and beautiful then... But don't wait for that, just close your eyes and think about her, you might get the same feeling...This song I happened to hear when I was in the US. My friend kept repeating this in his car and I fell in love with song more with each time... The maestro has sung it himself and assured that no one can make it better. Here it is for you, and as usual my way, the way it touched me...

New York Nagaram Urangum Neram Thanimai AdarnthathuLoneliness grows around me when New York city sleeps

Paniyum PadarthathuSo does snow

Kappal Irangiye Kaatrum Karayil NadanthathuEven the wind gets off from ship and started walking on the shore

At times we overlook what we have or who are with us and pretend that we are too occupied with our lives. Don't we need to appreciate our blessings... Thank God and ourselves for the gifts... Take a break. Just have a quick scan of what is important to us, whom are important to us. Tell them they are special. If you can't put that into words, sing this song... It is perfect way to say she/he is the most important aspect of your life.Just close your eyes, dim the light and let it fill you. Listen again, every time you can feel it is just what you want to say... And will wonder why you were so late... Make it...

This song is one of my recent favorite. Not sure what made the magic - Rahman's composition, Prasoon Joshi's lyrics or Benny Dayal's rendition... everything was in place to make the song a classic.

It is a perfect one to woo your love. 'I love the way you are..' Is there a better way to make her special and adored... Have a beer, keep the lights dim and sing this song to her... She will love it...

Here is the lyrics and my translation. The translation may not be verbatim or the lyricist may never thought so !!! But that is the way I love it, hope you will also like to take the dream ride with me....
